Pros

There are smart colleagues, great technology, and great first- and mid-level management.

Cons

The great culture that was once there and that made the company in the first place is no longer there. The company is now more CEO- and executive-driven versus engineering-driven like it was just a few years back. Morale is low after mass layoffs that decimated many teams, but it is still a good place to learn and grow your technical skills.
